Spuds Porting and Tuning Thread

[Richsark]

Hi Eddy, yep the main thing is the oiler, I've looked through the oil filler hole and were the manual pump housing goes there seems to be a cover plate? I'm hoping when this is removed it's just fit the pump housing and no drilling. Also I've removed the main pump bung to reveal a steel plug were the pump should be which will come out quite easy.

On the plus side it arrived with the chain cover, bar studs, and nuts, chain adjuster and inner bar plate all fitted. I've only had a quick luck so far, I was really hoping it could be done without splitting the crankcase. Oh well looks like a proper strip down any advise would be great.

Thanks guys

My advice, send it to someone who has the tools, it's a pita! There are c-clips, seals, if it's an older model, the bearings are different too! The whole machine has to be taken to tiny pieces to get at the inner bits!

Oh I don't fancy going through all that. As it would only be used on a mill, do you think that some type of external oiling system would be ok, like low pressure fed into the nose maybe.

Back soon dinners boiling over cheers

Hard to tell, the auxiliary oilers used for milling are usually used in conjunction with the saw's oiler

Spud worked on two of my saws and they work really well now. Thanks Spud

Well, I have tried out my ported 066 "Red eye" and .........what a dissapointment, very boggy in the cut and about as much go as an unported 60cc saw.

 

I am thinking the ignition advance isn't right as this is the area where I had to set the flywheel manually and not with the conventional key.

 

The next stage is to fire the saw up and use a timing light on it to see exactly what the ignition timing is - 27.5 - 32.5 deg at 8,000 is what it should be.

 

Watch this space!

Sounds like the timing is very retarded. But what do I know.

 

In other news, Randy's finger ported 044 has arrived at my door step. I'll grab some pics tomorrow in day light.
